In other words, you can use use JVisual media forever upon payment.

Non-exclusive – which means JVisual can sell the same media to any number of other people or entities.

Non-restrictive – meaning you can use the media in any number of projects you’d like.

For purposes of this agreement, “use” means to copy, reproduce, modify, edit, synchronize to video, perform, display, broadcast, publish, or otherwise make use of.

Free licenses grant you the right to make personal use of the media, provided that you do not use it for any commercial purposes. Please note that restricted uses apply to the free license as well.
